Crab Theory Film Showing (Lewes – Nov. 2, 2026)

Crab Theory film flyer Clawing at one another gets us nowhere. A film by Willy Conley Deaf Heart Studios Bucketful of crabs with one pinching a human finger

Willy Conley (Becky H’s brother) produced a movie called Crab Theory which will be showing at RBIFF on November 1 – 8, 2026 at the Lewes cinema.

The film is a 44-minute narrative drama. Here’s the synopsis:

At a traditional crab feast on the shores of Chance, Maryland, a group of Deaf friends and family gather for food, laughter, and reflection…until one guest’s simmering resentments and cultural blind spots threaten to tear the community apart, forcing each of them to confront the traps that keep them from truly lifting one another up.

It is an Official Selection at the Rehoboth Beach International Film Festival. https://rbiff26.eventive.org/Schedule/crab-theory-6a9dac3909f304755638cda9

You can view the film’s teaser: Film.   Poster is attached.

The film was written and directed by Willy Conley with an all-Deaf cast and production crew.  There will be a Q&A with the audience.

Cinema Art Theater, 17701 Dartmouth Drive, Lewes

Single tickets for non-festival participants will cost $18 (not available yet as of September 2026).  I will share another announcement once I find out when tickets go on sale.  For more info on the festival, contact: Rehoboth Beach Film Society at 302.313.4032 or email: info@rehobothfilm.com.
